Keto Twix bars are a healthy version of an all-time favourite candy. Enjoy a decadent sugar free treat without the carb count.

These sugar free twix bars are one of the first recipes I created when I started eating a low carb diet. Twix had always been my favorite chocolate bar and I just couldn't live without it!

I have just given the recipe an overhaul and updated the post with more details and images. My keto kitchen skills have come a long way since 2017 and it was time to share them with you all.

Why This Recipe Works

It's Twix, but better. With a crunchy shortbread crust, a gooey caramel layer and a dark chocolate topping, this recipe is a healthy sugar free and gluten-free alternative to Twix.

It's easy. This is a really easy chocolate bar recipe, and it is fun to put together. If you want to save time, you can even make a super fast no-bake version!

It hits the spot. Keto twix bars satisfy your chocolate bar cravings and then some, with mouthwatering flavors and a variety of textures in 3 layers. This is a chocolate bar that the whole family will enjoy, whether they are low carb or not.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

CRUST

Almond flour - I used ground almonds, which is equivalent to regular almond flour.
Sweetener - I like allulose. You can also use erythritol. Bocha Sweet or a golden monk fruit sweetener.
Butter - Melted
Vanilla extract

CARAMEL

Heavy cream - or use coconut cream for a dairy-free version
Butter - Or coconut oil for dairy-free
Allulose - This is the best sweetener for caramel because it does not re-crystallise.
A pinch of salt - to enhance and lift the flavor.
Optional: for a firmer caramel, add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum.

CHOCOLATE

Dark chocolate - I recommend either 90% dark chocolate such as Lindt or a sugar-free chocolate like Lily's. Dark chocolate should have a minimum of 85% cocoa solids or the sugar content is too high.
Coconut oil - I added this to soften the chocolate and make it easier to cut into bars.

Instructions

Let me show you how to make a Keto twix. Here are the basic steps. For more details and nutrition info, scroll down to the recipe card.

Almond flour dough crumbles in a mixing bowl.

STEP 1

Place the crust ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir together with a spatula.

STEP 2

Line a small baking tray (24cm x 16cm) with parchment paper. Press the mix into the bottom of the tray to form a crust.

Bake the crust in the oven for 15 minutes or until it is lightly browned. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool down.

STEP 3

Melt the cream, butter and sweetener in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Let the mixture bubble away, stirring regularly, until it thickens and has reduced by half. This takes about 10-15 minutes.

Stir in the xanthan gum, if you are using it. Let the caramel cool for 10-15 minutes.

STEP 4

Spread the caramel over the cooled crust and place in the fridge for 10 minutes until it has firmed up.

STEP 6

Katrin's Top Tip

For a quicker recipe, don't bake the crust! The no-bake version is not crispy like shortbread, but it also tastes delicious.

Variations

To make your homemade sugar free Twix bars look 100% professional, use a silicone mold like this. Pour some of the chocolate at the bottom, cut the baked shortbread base into the correct size, add the caramel and finish off with chocolate.

Not difficult, a little more time-consuming but thankfully, absolutely not necessary. Because we're all about the taste, right?

Once you bite into your very own healthy homemade perfectly imperfect Twix, you'll know you're in your happy place.

Enjoy!

Storage

Keto Twix bars are best stored in the fridge in an airtight container. They stay fresh for around 1 week.

It is also possible to freeze the bars for up to 3 months. I pre-slice them and freeze them on a tray. Once they are frozen, I transfer them to a freezer bag. This way, they do not stick together.

I like to eat these straight from the freezer!
